Is Justice by N’Dia Rae Worth Reading?
Yes — I’d say it’s worth reading, especially if you’ve already read the Banks Empire books.
The important caveat is that Justice’s own book does not appear to have enough publicly available information/reviews yet for me to judge the finished novel directly. What is clear from reader reactions to Quest III is that Justice has become one of the characters readers are most eager to follow.
Why I’d recommend it
- Justice has been built up throughout the series
- Readers are already asking for his story and have many unanswered questions about him.
- His involvement in Quest III gives readers more insight into his character while setting up his own story.
- There appears to be a strong romance + family drama + suspense component.
- If you enjoy N’Dia Rae’s powerful family, loyalty, betrayal, and revenge style, Justice should fit well.
My rating
Potential: ⭐ 8.5/10
Worth reading? → YES ✅
Best approach: If you’re new to N’Dia Rae, don’t start with Justice. Read the Banks Empire books first so Justice’s character and relationships have the emotional buildup they’re supposed to have.
And if you’ve already read Prime → Quest → Quest III, I’d definitely put Justice on your TBR. Current readers are very clearly hungry for his story.
